[Lead]
Now it's time to ease your mind; so hear me as I say
Life's not always down you see — hey
If the sun refuse to shine; and all your skies are gray
Just sing this simple melody — yea
[Chorus]
I feel good and I know it
Don't hate me if I show it — hey
[Lead]
The Joy I feel on the inside will show up on the outside
[Vamp]
My hands go up and I praise Him; you know um gonna thank Him — hey
[Lead]
The happiness in my life; today it won't be denied
[Vamp]
And I feel good, good, good [back to Chorus]
[Lead 2]
Now I realize there will be days we will feel down and blue
But that's not goin be today — aye
If you take the time to pray for me I'll pray for you
And we can lift our voice and say
[Chorus]
I feel good and I know it
Don't hate me if I show it — hey
[Lead]
The joy I feel on the inside will show up on the outside
[Vamp]
My hands go up and praise Him; you know I'm gonna thank Him (hey)
[Lead]
The happiness in my life — today it won't be denied
[Vamp]
I feel good and I know it; don't hate me if I show it
[Lead]
The joy I feel on the inside will show up on the outside
[Vamp]
My hands go up and I praise Him; you know I'm gonna thank Him
[Lead]
The happiness meant for my life — today it won't be denied say
[Vamp]
I choose to feel love and I choose to feel peace (peace of mind)
I know that these things are promised to me
I'm wearing a smile and that's just how it will be
Cause I'm with His Son and He set me free
Come on say`
I feel good — you know that I feel good — good morning
If you don't mind join with me — We'll be fine
My hands go up praising Him; I feel like praising Him
If you don't mind (I don't mind) having a good time
